I’m seeking photos and videos of drones used by ICE, like these. Please send any you have my way - trying to better understand the patterns.
There are numerous reports across the Twin Cities on ICE monitoring pages of drones circling apartment buildings. What valid law enforcement reason could there be for this?

“When researchers at the Center for AI Safety tested AI agents’ ability to complete remote work tasks, not a single model was able to complete more than three percent of their assignments.”
“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst
AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

There’s no doubt we’re exposed to and consuming micro/nanoplastics. But there is some growing debate about how much and the validity of the studies published thus far. The field of research is still new and insufficient data is available to say for certain how widespread and what it’s doing to us.
Wait… All Those Studies May Have "Detected" Microplastics in the Human Body Because of a Severe Error
Some scientists are coming out against the studies that claimed to have found alarming amounts of microplastics in human bodies.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Energy costs are through the roof. People need opportunities to lower their bills & take control of their energy future. Heat pumps & plug-in solar installations are key strategies. We need way more of both & I introduced two bills to help get us there.

This is one of the biggest failures of the Biden Admin: They did GREAT things to improve the lives of Americans and then basically told no one about it. They got the wheels of government churning FOR people but instead of bragging about it, they’d post a shrimpy announcement on one obscure website.
Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
Stay warm, stay safe New York.
